Universal Ham Radio Antenna Mount!

Post author By admin
Post date December 8, 2025

Universal Ham Radio Antenna Mount!

In the last video, we took a look at the Gabil Triple Mag Mount, but today we’re going in a different direction — the Gabil Clamp Mount. This is a heavy-duty, adjustable clamp-style antenna mount designed for temporary or permanent use: tailgates, park tables, fence posts, roof racks, cargo carriers, towers, walls and more.

In this video I’ll unbox it, check the build quality, show you how it works, and talk about where this mount makes more sense than a mag mount. If you do POTA activations, truck-bed installs, tripod masts, or balcony setups, this one might be worth a look.

Intermodulation 3rd Order Mix in Congested Tower Sites

I have a friend, I’ll call him Tuje (pronounced Tooge). He has decades of experience in commercial VHF/UHF radio communications. He wants to share his knowledge, but he also wants to remain anonymous. I offered to host his videos on my channel. So here is another video in an ongoing series of helpful videos, primarily relating to VHF communications, but certainly not limited to that topic.

My Favorite Ham Radio Gadgets of 2025

In this laid-back Saturday morning video, I run-down of the gear that saw real use during my 2025 ham radio adventures, from backyard operating to countless Parks on the Air activations. I cover standout items like Meshtastic nodes (C-Studio T1000 and Spec5 Delta), the game-changing ArmorLock cage for my FTDX10, the incredibly versatile Hamtop SkyHook system, the Bluetooth-programmable Valet VRN76 handheld with APRS, free logging apps (Polo & Hamrs), the Sofirn Nova flashlight, and the RigExpert AA-33 Zoom antenna analyzer. If you’re looking for proven, field-tested recommendations (or last-minute holiday gift ideas for the ham in your life), these are the gadgets I reached for again and again this year!
